Modified version of Takei Naodar's feeder, which was a modified version of iRoberti"s feeder. -Added indicator so you can see what you're tension is set to-adjusted tension settings, zero tension is now possible up to full spring max tension.-revised outer casing at rear for 2 screws instead of 3, as well as made it symmetrical.-adjusted some tolerances-2 designs, one with stock tension screw and nut, another with socket cap screw and square nut.Step-by-step instructions includedWhile not a quick change feeder, this is a workhorse feeder. It is simple and just keeps working, period. It will feed flexible filaments, no problem. It has a huge range of tension adjustments for a wide range of filament diameters and types. Lots of credit to those guys for a great starting point in a reliable feeder design.Here are the links to their pagesTakei Naodar - https://www.youmagine.com/users/takei-naodariRoberti - https://www.youmagine.com/users/iroberti

How do you actually change the filament? Do you just push in a new one and it starts rolling in? There is no open-close mechanism like on iRoberts V2 feeder.

I made some modifications to this design to get it working on my Frankenstein UM Original (https://www.youmagine.com/designs/modified-sp3d-feeder-for-mk8-drive-gear). Those aside, I have to say this is probably the best feeder that I've bolted on, and I've tried many over the years. Thanks!

hi @SolidPrint3D ! thank you for sharing - i need to modify it a bit because i want to install it at an UMO with an MK8 drive gear, can you therefore maybe share the STEP files with us? thank you!

<p>Very slick design and very easy to print. Love the addition of the tension gauge.</p><p>Printed mine with reduced height (chopped 2mm off the bottom in Cura) so I could use the standard screws. Should have chopped only 1.9 or 1.8mm so the side holes stayed covered.<br></p><p>I actually don't like the quick material change of other feeders and prefer using the standard material change function of the UM2 (like this feeder supports). When the filament gets stuck I just pull the bowden tube from the top of the print head.</p><p>Thanks!</p>
